It wasn’t instant fame for Selena Gomez, as she has dealt with a number of obstacles just like everyone else in the business.
Gomez revealed the difficulties in doing the work she wants, lamenting, “I’ve had people tell me that I would never have my own show, that I wasn’t talented or strong enough,” reports Digital Spy.
But Gomez has gotten through the initial criticism and believes that going through that “is a big part of how [she] became who [she is].”
